22nd Scottish Refugees Festival
The motion
That the Parliament celebrates the 22nd Scottish Refugee Festival; recognises that this year’s message was about storytelling, allowing time to reflect on the life journeys that have led people to Scotland and their future ambitions; understands that this is an opportunity to raise awareness of the challenges faced by people seeking safety in Scotland and for Scotland to show its support in welcoming New Scots, and thanks the Scottish Refugee Council for the work it does alongside community groups, local organisations, artists and activists to bring people together and build stronger communities.
